Event logging is a central source of information for IT operations and security. Logs are even more important in a Docker environment where you start and stop containers around the clock and the container might not even exist any more by the time you investigate an event. The syslog-ng application collects logs from the host and other containers, and can act as a central logging server, or can relay logs from the host to a central server. This session focuses on the benefits of using syslog-ng in a Docker environment and how to configure it for different use cases.
